I just recently played a game where a guy just held off my cut off with 2 pioneer squad and 2-3 grenadiers early game. This wouldn't normally be a problem, but he called in medic drops early on. Course' I can't pick them up and I know that, but what alarmed me more was that the rate of healing and defensive bonuses he gained. His units continued to heal during battle and stopped losing models despite engaging 4 conscripts. He called in another medic drop to continue this freak buff and healing. It would be neigh impossible to break through the line without snipers or something that can guarantee model losses. I know Wehrmacht is in a difficult spot right now, but this is not a minor oversight and it needs to be looked at.

I've encountered the same thing. They seemed impossible to kill with green cover and the bonuses. Felt a bit like the old hit the dirt. Would like to know how to counter this early game.

There's also other thing about the medical supplies... since your enemies can't pick them up, you can use them as tank traps, and block choke points on some maps with indestructible obstacles.

Relic: make them able to be picked up by the enemy again and this problem is solved.

They cannot be picked by the enemy? I know they could. Something changed meanwhile?

Why are you even considering them not being able to be picked up to not be a bug?
Its obviously a bug, part of risk vs reward is possibility of enemy to steal them.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Lame they can't be picked up; if you are driven off they should be able to use them, it's not like the bandages can only be read in German and requires intellectual knowledge to use.
They do have hitpoints though, which I think is very high for wooden crates of bandaging.

Yeah the fact that your enemy can't pick em up is bullshit. Indestructible tank traps on chokepoint maps is gg right there.

Supplies not being able to be picked by opponents is such BS. In a 2v2 I had, my Ostheer opponent kept feeding his OKW teammate fuel drops. I even overran the dropzone, with 5 fuel creates lying around, but couldn't pick them up. 5 minutes later, there was a KT out.

It's totally fine and working as intended. I had a game yesterday vs 7 Maxims and 3 Stormtrooper blobs. Guess what saved the day?
EDIT - not my actual opinion, pointing out flaws in other people's arguments.

Infantry can still get pass them so I don't really see your point. I'd be fine with them if a) they were destructible or b) they can be picked up. It's just the fact that they are blocking vehicles.

yeah nobody is saying they shouldn't give the bonuses they do. There just needs to be a way for your opponent to get rid of them somehow. Stealing or destroying would both be fine, and would not hugely affect your own ability to use them.

My point is that it's a problem, it needs to be fixed but it's possible to write your argument from another thread "it saved me therefore it's ok". I was hoping you'd see that it's not a strong argument.

Luftwaffe Supply Doc may also be a little OP in 2v2 games. My partner held his fuel as OKW and i dropped fuel supplies there, in 15-16 mins a KIngtiger was out.. Saved everything.

I would like to know the bonuses that are applied
I remember being able to pick these up when the commander was introduced. I don't know when it changed, but it's really dumb that I can't pick them up when I drive the enemy away. I had one guy help his okw partner with it, but not even close to the abuse described by the OP.

T34/76 is NOT a joke on my hands; Maybe on your hands you make it suck shit? but on me, No. I can kill a stug with a little micro, go toe to toe with a Panzer 4. Is it a joke? LOL T34/85 is apparently a very good tank. But no one says it "one hit wipe" or elefant penetration; up to a point i think this little medium tank just have too much health and too much firepower with that fuel cost.

Anyone got the stats on what these do?
Because boy, my rifles just seemed to melt in front of them!!
At the moment they are pretty broken as you can be really really aggressive with your drop and win the first engagement with 2-3 grens...
Ofc the lack of a heavy tank at the end is a downside but I'm against any doctrine giving this much of an effect on the very early game.
I would raise to 1cp and allow hostile factions to pick up.
